I'd like to use a USB C docking station for cord cleanliness but I didn't want to risk an issue if the USB - C couldn't charge it. Can the device get powered by the USB C and if so by how much?

Dear oPhoenixo,

Thanks for bringing up this topic.

The following ports are available for the Mini Air11:
2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 port
2 x USB-C ports (data only)

And then about your question,
Only USB4 (Type-C) supports PD fast charging protocol, although there are some USB3 that are Type-C type, their charging speed is too small to be used as a power source.

The Type C port of the Air 11 can not be used for charging because they are not USB4.
